For other fire info call 1800 000 699 or go to www.fire.tas.gov.au First established in the 1980s, Claremont Fire Brigade existed as a composite brigade at the Claremont Fire Station, a Hobart Fire Brigade sub station. This included both volunteer and career staff. A short time after, a new career staffed station was built at Glenorchy, at the same time the Moonah Station was closed down. Some car
eer staff from both Claremont and Moonah were allocated to the Glenorchy station, and remainder of the staff were dispersed to other stations within the Hobart Fire Brigade. Today, Claremont Fire Brigade is staffed completely by volunteers. The brigade's area of responsibility includes residential, commercial, industrial and rural properties. Some of these include schools, a technical college, nursing homes, shopping complexes and the famous Cadbury chocolate factory. Claremont Fire Brigade maintains two four-wheel drive firefighting appliances; a light tanker and a heavy tanker.
